Are one hand watches unique enough for this sub forum?
The name says it all!
If you don’t care about being exactly on time, you are either important enough that they can’t start without you, or you’re unemployed.

Or you're like my wife who doesn't wind or set the time on any of her mechanical watches. She just couldn't be bothered and just straps them on 😁

not wearing a watch is one thing in common between the ultra rich and the super poor.

The name would actually make better sense if the watch didn't have the date function. Kind of louses up the whole contrived Bauhaus effect.

I agree. Better without the date.

Oh don't get me wrong as I would definitely wear that watch as I like the look and integrated bracelet with no lugs. Any idea what the movement is and who made it? I could simply google but that ruins fun discussions.

Two were shipped to me (long story). Returned the other. Should have sent it your way.

ETA movement i believe. Made by Botta Design.

Yea me too. Back in high school I spent most of my time stealing hub caps and car radios as no one was about to date me. Didn't get any better as I got older either. I did manage to at least get married but my life of crime continued although I'm just a bag man, a small cog in a large family-run criminal conspiracy 😁

Nice but I like the white one above more 😀

Ty sir

prefer white to ...? 😀

The margin of error for the white is about 5 mins. For the blue one it’s about 15 mins. Margin escalates with poorer eyesight like me. 😀

but the whole point of these watches is that there is no rush and no need to be precise. 745am and 750am, what’s the difference? 😀

The real benefit of these watches - with only one hand you don't have to be ambidextrous to tell time.
